Metallica fights bloggers
The musicians from Metallica behaved somewhat strangely towards the bloggers who published reviews of the songs from the new, not yet released album of the group.
After the audition party in London, to which journalists of music sites and some blog authors were invited, reviews of the new album appeared on the pages of these sites. As a result, the managers of the cult group demanded that all publications be removed. And immediately. This affected not only bloggers, but sites like Kerrang! , Metal Hammer and Rock Sound .
The position of Metallica is not clear for several reasons. First of all, none of the invitees signed the non-disclosure agreement. And why? Such events, with the invitation of leading music reviewers, are designed precisely to ensure that information about new creations of musicians is distributed as widely as possible. Secondly, most of the reviews were enthusiastic. Somewhat chilly about the new album of the band was the site The Quietus .

Such “behavior” of Metallica representatives looks especially strange against the background of the recently “warmed” relations of the collective with the Internet. I recall that after a long hatred of the web, which began with a loud deal with Napster, I launched my own website, and the tracks of the group began to be sold in the online store iTunes Store. And all the more strange against the background of the undertakings of many famous groups, Nine Inch Nails, for example.
